    Dr. Horrible comes to brick and mortar stores!
    Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog DVD was released to (non-Amazon) retailers Tuesday.  Best Buy brick and mortar stores have it. Anyone seen it elsewhere? 
    I checked one Target and one Wal-Mart.  No luck.  It wasn't in the new release section at Best Buy.  I found it in the TV section under D.  When I left they had one less and there were some in the new release section and the TV section under D. It is a new release...probably just sold out in that section.
    Reports coming in Dr. Horrible has also been seen at FYE.  According to http://bashinginminds.com , Doc is also available now online at Barnes & Noble, Borders, DeepDiscount.com, Walmart, Best Buy and other retailers. Netflix now has it.
    Doc twittered that Blockbusters online has it...their stores may also have it.
    Some places can order it without a shipping charge to their brick and mortar store.
    Know anybody in Canada? Doc been seen at HMV and Metro Video.

    Joss Whedon! Nathan Fillion!
